Late 19thc French walnut open armchair

A fine example of a late 19th century French walnut open armchair smothered with various finely carved Greek & Roman influenced designs.

The back frame is finely carved with guilloche decoration & this design also leads down to the arms terminating with acanthus carving.

The arm supports have scroll & acanthus carved decoration.

The seat rail has a carved laurel leaf decoration with a carved square and central flower at the top of each leg.

The legs are turned & have carved acanthus decoration with twisted fluting terminating in a ball turned foot.

There are moulded cross stretchers supported by a circular central boss.

The chair has been recovered in an emerald green silk damask which complements the frame.

Please note: identical chair (minus stretcher) listed in Chairs section (www.lvsdecorativearts.com) Ref:LVS371 in a blue silk. These could be sold as a pair and then re-upholstered in your choice of fabric - please contact me to discuss.

This chair was probably originally gilded.

This piece is structurally sound & ready to go straight into a property.
